IMPROVEMENT IN TWlNE-HOLDERS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 116,911, dated July 11, 1871.

To Il 101mm if may concern: y ,f

Be it known that- 1, JOHN ADT, of' New Haven, in the county ot' New Haven and State of Connecticut, have invented a new Improvementl in Twine-Holder; and I do hereby declare the following', when taken in connection with theI accompanying' drawing and the letters ot' ret'erence marked thereon, to be a full, clear, and exact description ot' theI same, and which said drawing' constitutes part otthis specitieation, and represents, in-

Figure 1, a side view; Fig. L', a top view; Fig. 3, the bail detached; and in Fig. 4, a moditi ation ot' the bail. l

This invention relates to an improvement in that class ot' twine-holders designed to be suspended and t'or the twine to run through apert'oration in the bottom. Thesey have heretofore been constructed in two parts, substantiallylike each other, hinged together, one serving' asa cover. This improvement is designed to cheapen the construction; and it consists `in the peculiar arrangement of a detachable bail to one-half, whereby the other ha lt' of the holder is dispensed with.

A is the lower portion, substantially like the lower portion of a common twine-holder; B, a bail, shown detached in Fig. 3. This bail is formed from wire or any suitable metal, the ends hooked as at b, with an eye or other device, u, for hanging the holder. The part A is constructed with recesses I (I upon the inside, opposite to each other, and into these recesses the bail is pressed, the hooks passing through the opening below, as in Figs. 1 and 2. These recesses hold the bail firmly in a perpendicular position.

The hall ot' twine is placed in the part A and drawn therefrom in the usual manner. ThusI am enabled to produce the holder atabout onehalt' the cost of that ot' connnon construction.

I claim as my invention#- A twine-holder, A, provided with a bail for suspending the said holder, arranged and combined with the holder so that the bail is retained in a deiined position, substantiall)r as described.
